Hand wellness progress is slower than I had wanted...

...Or had hoped for.
It appears once again that being an impatient patient is not helpful and attempting to do things you feel you must...
Pain, swelling and redness is what you get! 
So even with me taking the obligatory prescribed anti-biotic for forty-eight hours worth of dosing, improvement is on the slow-track, as far as I am concerned. 
I called the ask-a-nurse service to ask a few questions and I was told by Patti the RN to raise it and ice it and basically stay off of it, odd no one at
 the hospital told me to do that or found anywhere on my written instructions that I had been sent home with either.

Any-who, being right handed this whole situation is quite inconvenient and of course I know it is only temporary.
So today when I wanted to fold that load of wash I foolishly washed this morning and Hubby even was kind enough to toss it into the dryer when he passed by it on his way out to the garage, I couldn't figure out how to fold it without using both hands, since by afternoon it was drizzling blood again and swelling and reddish and that is why I called the ask-a-nurse. Bumhood is no fun!With me lacking ability to do so many things due to the MS this just adds to my self awareness amplified of my difficulties, sorry for that!
Guess two days isn't quite long enough to regain that small ability that we all take for granted using two hands.  

Although, I am using a stylus in my righty, since for some reason I do type with both, lefty and righty that is... it is not my usual way of doing this writing thingy, meaning a stylus in one, and so this is all she wrote on this sour note, yep me for tonight, and allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
